Fiorentina has searched for a top class centre-back this summer.
“Everything that has been written about me suggesting I am ready to leave Benfica is simply not true,” Luisao declared to Globoesporte.
“It had been made out that I was already in agreement with Fiorentina – including contractual details. All this is simply speculation, however, and neither myself nor my agent have ever received an official proposal from the Viola.”
“All said and done, I can confirm my situation at Benfica is still not definite,” he concluded.
